Well, doesnt really matter as long as we're winning.

Dwight needs to realize he's not the #1 option on this team right now.

Unfortunately, I missed tonights game, but I'm glad to see we walked out with a win even if it was a close one.

Especially considering they were coming off of blowing out the Bucks by 43 points last game.

As the cliche goes: A win is a win.

20-14 from here on out would put us at 50 wins.

Haha, not mine, but as long as Hedo keeps doing this, gotta keep pulling new stuff out of the woodwork (or from other forums). :rofl:

I thought Stan made one interesting observation that I had previously. The Magic struggle against athletic teams (see Hawks, Suns, new-look Pacers). I was worried about this game for that reason. That is one thing that I really think the Magic DO need to take a look at in the offseason.

Hedo says no. He says he can't play that way or he won't be playing his game.

Regardless.....great job, Hedo!

I expect your big, who was putting up 30 points routinely earlier in the season, to touch the ball. That's what I expect. I don't give a chit how good Hedo is, you cannot keep isolating Howard out of the offense.

Some nights I agree with you, some not.

Exactly many shots do you think he should get a night?

He was 6-for-10. He took 9 free throws, which means he had at least 15 shots. Same number as Hedo -- if you count Hedo's free throws, he took two more shots. Lewis had the same number as Dwight, 15.

Do you think it was a good idea, in a two-point game, to give Philly the opportunity to be scoring field goals while Dwight was hitting half of his free throws, so they could be scoring two points for every one the Magic scored? The reason I think it was a stretch tonight is Dalembert was getting in his way some. Also, the refs weren't giving him the And 1 tonight. They were taking it away when he scored the basket and making the Magic just count on him trying to make the free throws. There were at least two times that happened.

You know, it's possible that Dwight wasn't happy about the fact he wasn't getting his And 1s. Or didn't get more free throws. Or that he was called for goaltending again. Or that he got hit with four personal fouls. Or that some of it is a game face. After all, he gets criticized for smiling. He was smiling at the end after the win -- and always does after a win.

A lot of times, though....I would agree with you.

9 Turnovers

That's amazing! I hope Hedo can keep this up.

BTW, Adam. Nice work with Hedo's All-Star jersey. I wish he was really playing for them this year. He really earned it.

Yet another DNPCD. But in this game, StM had his hand forced. In a 48 minute game, Evans and Bogans played 56 minutes!

Turkoglu, the Magic's go-to-guy in the fourth period all season, drove down the right side of the lane. He was fouled by Sixers forward Andre Iguodala, who protested mightily.

"I guess I got the all-star call," Turkoglu laughed after scoring 10 of his points in the final quarter. "I did get fouled on that shot, so I guess it wasn't an all-star call. It had to be called, because he hit my arm."

Hah, Turk makes a joke.

For all of Van Gundy's angst, the Magic are not only well ahead of last season's pace, but are on something of a historical jog.

They didn't notch their 30th victory until last Mar. 14, which gave them a 30-36 record.

You have to go back to 1996-97 season to find a team that won this many, this fast. That team was 30-25 on Jan. 28, 1997.

Yikes I was starting to forget how bad this team was at this point last year. Def improvement. Thats a month and half ahead of last years 30th win.

but dont forget "Orlando is such a fake team, they will fall on their face in January just like they always do"
